Halloween candy recall: Mega Pops, Raisinets

I don't know any kids who like Raisinets, or any person who's even heard of Mega Pops, but I feel I must pass along the following news.

Both candies have been recalled.

According to WalletPop, candy maker Colombina SA issued a recall on Mega Pops lollipops because certain lots "might contain 'minute traces' of stainless steel." The pops are sold nationwide in Dollar General, Family Dollar, Variety and Fred's stores, as well as through wholesalers. Call the company at 1-888-317-3686 if you have concerns.

Nestle recalled certain fun-sized bags of Raisinets because they might contain peanuts -- and no warning about the peanuts. Anyone who has a peanut allergy or knows someone who does understands how potentially dangerous that could be. Call Nestle Customer Service at 1-800-478-5670 if you purchased these Raisinets at a Target, Shop Rite or Don Quixote store.

And then, go pick up a bag of bite-sized Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Those are always a hit.
